Why wouldn't you just turn the gains down to the proper level for the power you need then?

because a gain is not a volume or watt control its an input sensitivity

your headunit is a volume control

just sayin cuz im droolin on this sub

People run higher powered amps underpowered all the time. I plan on doing it with my RF T2500-1BDCP when it comes in. Cuz the two subs I have right now wont come close to handling 3Kw, so I'll just dump the gain a bit and have no distortion and more efficiency.

sorry cv fan .........dude, an amp can get full power at minimum gain. that will not control distortion or efficiency, its only going to adjust input sensitivity to the headunits output

Input sensitivity will definitely control the amount of energy sent to the subs....

Only way your getting full ouput out of an amp at minumum gain in most cases is to turn up every preamp signal you have in your path all the way up, even then, it's going to be iffy. My horns are running at minimum gain on 100 watt amp and if I was "still" getting max power from my amp they'd rip my ears off every time I got into my car. Thankfully gains CAN and DO act as a volume knob, just not in the traditional sense. Volume knob controls input voltage, gain controls the magnitude of increase given a set input voltage. Essentially the same thing. Like it or not, having too powerful an amp is BS excuse lol, but if he doesn't want it that's up to him.

Turn the subwoofer output down on the HU, keep gains low and you can run just about any amp off of any subwoofer.

Where do you keep getting these SQ subs from. If I had seen this thing got down so low in price I would have considered it.
